Thankfully they know better and only go for easy(non-nuke)'prey'.

It is a useful illusion to have while destroying it. Hey, we will fix this in 10 years with our billions. It is a huge pill we incidentally forget we swallow daily. No need to remind.

I agree that we can consume less, it is just a hard policy to push. How will the market be affected? Any politician enacting this change will be hit with the 'destroying the economy'. Is there room for capitalism in that economy? It feels like the idealism wars have doomed us.

OT: I would also prefer a 20 yr old car design then a modern 'smart screens everywhere let the car drive for you because it is safer'. Cars were just finoshed back then, but in comes the age of 'Everything as a service'. Cars today are crap. Maybe in another 20 when they fix the batteries.

Wow, if they even wanted this to be taken seriously they could have just included everyone in on it. Why just this specific class? Refuse anyone that has <same race><same gender><same orientation> on the board. That would have got me atleast thinking about diversity. This just sounds ridiculous.

The casino is 45m away from a major city, and they have a few routes going through it. It isn't in a big town itself, so I hope they can connect me to another big city from there. Casino-touring here I come.

I was underage when I used it, when the shuttle driver asked if I had the years I asked him if they ID on the shuttle or at the entrance of the casino. I stayed on. EDIT: I guess it does discriminate on age. Having trouble editing OP.

Only free transportation I have come across in the Midwest is Free shuttle to nearby casinos. Now I hope they also have a shuttle or two to the next city center but I have my doubts that I can reach Atlantic City from here. I should try that next spring.

What does lack of further support mean to a user? Will browsers start breaking? Games stop working? I haven't DLed/installed updates on my Win7 for years now, will this be the same?

One is to prevent the whole herd from being infected(eradicated possibly), the other is a sick member to choose their way to treat themselves. Grievance is a part of life, it is sad to see members go, but I can't compare between that and the herd disappearing completely(no one left to grief).

EDIT: also I can't help but feel that this claim puts Chemotherapy on the same level of effectiveness as Vaccines. I think all options should be exhausted before we start claiming chemo to be as miraculous as vaccines are.

That they are but one is nowhere near as dangerous to the herd as the other. I don't see a need to lump these camps together.

Is cancer infectious? How is this anywhere near anti-vaxxers? Don't vaccines mainly exist to treat for something dangerous to the whole herd? Only some small part of the herd even gets cancer.. how is this not discrediting vaccines by even just comparing the two?

It may be Exec culture or just culture in general. We all want to be successful/ better than the competiton. It attracts/feeds our narcissism and eventually gets buried by people who only optimize for profit, success on paper.

Can't we replace the finance folks with software yet? It seems that should be the easiest to automate. They can see it, but of course they are closest to the money, and can't let go.

I don't understand this about politics - what needs to be exciting? What does it mean for a politician to be boring? Even back then, I thought politicians are elected to be boring. I am ESL, is this word used differently in politics?and how was Bush exciting? Is it some flashiness he maintained? I think I misunderstand.
